Three Rivers police are looking for a man who fled from the scene of an explosion Monday at 109 S. Andrews St. in Three Rivers.

Another man died from injuries suffered in that explosion.

Firefighters and police were called to a home around 3:30 p.m. after an explosion was reported in an unattached garage.

Emergency personnel arrived to find a man in the backyard with burns and lacerations.

He was taken to Three Rivers Health and later airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, where he later died.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze before it caused any structural damage.

The man who fled is described as a white male, age 30 to 35, with a height of 5-7 or 5-8, authorities said. He had reddish-blond, short hair, facial hair and a goatee. He was wearing blue jeans and an unknown type of shirt.

On Tuesday, investigators from the Michigan State Police fire investigation unit determined the cause of the explosion was due to the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Any information regarding the identity of the man is asked to call 278-1235 or 467-4195.
